Those pesky window shade brackets

[Parker]

Apologies if this has been discussed here before, but does anyone have a simple but attractive way to cover the lower brackets that hold the window shade cord ends? The ones at the head of the bed are a real nuisance when sitting up to read. We can sit so as to avoid them, but unplanned and sometime painful encounters still occur.

I've thought of a large piece of rope looped over the plastic cylinder and then wrapped with cord along the bracket, modifying a hockey puck to fit over the cylinder, and so on. Surely someone must have a better idea!

I have also had the odd poke in my back from the window shade anchors. Have not done anything about it yet, but have considered buying a pillow to use when sitting up in bed. Maybe something like these would work?

Good question Parker. They snag our clothing at the dinette seats too.

Yes, those are my least favorite feature...
